Can't execute jar- file: “no main manifest attribute”

Question

I have installed an application, when I try to run it (it\'s an executable jar) nothing happens. When I run it from the commandline with:

java -jar \

Answer 1

I got same error just now. If u're using gradle, just add next one in ur gradle.build:

apply plugin: 'java'

jar {
    manifest {
        attributes 'Main-Class': 'com.company.project.MainClass'
    }
}

Where com.company.project.MainClass path to ur class with public static void main(String[] args) method.
